Matt’s 100% Accurate Oscar Picks for 2011*
*Results may not be 100% accurate Oscar picks are to some, what track betting is to others. I have never made formal Oscar picks like this before, so it is very possible I could fall flat on my face. But nonetheless, I think this is a very interesting year where some films seem to have […]
First Official Look at Lisbeth Salander in Fincher’s “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”
This is certainly not our first look, but it is the first clear look. I was nervous about Rooney Mara in the role when I first heard the news, but I think she certainly looks the part. She turned in nice work in The Social Network, but I thought she was flat and one dimensional […]
Eastwood’s Biopic “J. Edgar” Loses Theron, Gains Westwick
I finally caught Hereafter a couple of weeks ago, and I was a little disappointed. I thought the acting was good, and Eastwood directs a good film. But I was just a little bored and never really got into any of the characters. Overall, I love the film’s Eastwood puts out so I have been […]
Trent Reznor Will Once Again Team Up with Fincher on “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”
I’m not going to lie. I had know idea that Trent Reznor was the frontman for the Nine Inch Nails. Actually, the only Nine Inch Nails song that I have actually listened to is the one featured in the first trailer for 300. Just not my type of music. But I definitely recognize Reznor’s name […]
Tim’s Favorite Films of 2010 Part 2
Click here to read Part 1. 6. Tangled – I love the classic Disney animated musicals. They are some of my favorite films. While I did enjoy The Princess and the Frog, it was not quite the return to great animated films that Disney was hoping for. Tangled was a film I had absolutely no […]
Roger Ebert’s Top Ten of 2010
I usually become numb to these types of lists pretty quick. I would venture to guess around 5 out of 10 films on everybody’s list is the same. I’m not saying it’s bad, it just gets monotonous. Well I haven’t read too many lists yet this year, and I think Roger Ebert is well respected […]

The Social Network has been one of the most talked about films all year. Now, award season has begun and the film is receiving accolade after accolade. Add to that Mark Zuckerberg being announced as Time’s “Person of the Year” and you have a movie that some could argue as the event of the year. […]
Armie Hammer, Charlize Theron in Talks to Star with DiCaprio in Clint Eastwood’s New Film
Let’s take one step at a time and work backwards from the article’s title. Clint Eastwood’s next film will be a J. Edgar Hoover biopic tentatively titled J. Edgar. No release date is set, but the assumption is that it will be released in 2012. I am all aboard anything Eastwood does right now. I […]
“Black Swan”, “The King’s Speech”, and “True Grit” Top Nominees for BFCA Awards
The Broadcast Film Critics’ nominations are among the biggest of the year, and one of the largest in the early portion of the year. Boasting a large member count of many highly respected film critics, the BFCA usually get a number of things right. They aren’t always clear matchups to the final showdown at the […]
